1A District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Caden "6" Collier Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is St. John Paul II's Caden "6" Collier, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday "6" Collier picked up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of St. John Paul II's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
St. John Paul II moved to 2-4 with that victory, which also ended their four-game losing streak. "6" Collier will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on North Florida Christian on Monday.

Gavin Ford Turns in Season-Best Performance
St. John Paul II was led to victory by Gavin Ford, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ford threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per attempt.
This season, Ford has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 156.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.83 passing yards per game.

George Grant Delivers Electric Performance Vs St. John Paul II
While Maclay might've come up empty on Friday, George Grant wasn't going down without a fight. Grant was unstoppable, rushing for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Grant and Maclay will host North Florida Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Grant took on the Eagles, he rushed for 90 yards, and also threw for 161 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kamren Mcmillan Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Sadly, Kamren Mcmillan posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead FAMU DRS over North Florida Christian on Friday. Mcmillan rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
FAMU DRS is on a 13-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Mcmillan and FAMU DRS will be playing in front of their home fans against Wewahitchka at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
